Over the Hedge

Not a bad addition to the DS library.

User Rating: 7.8 | Over the Hedge DS

By Gigatron | Review Date: May 16, 2006

Since I was planning to see the movie, I went ahead and picked this one up. It's actually like metal gear solid, with a good dose of platforming thrown in. The graphics are good, and they animate well, but there are some visual glitches here and there. Actually, the game can be buggy at times (sometimes it just crashes). The sound consists of voice snippets and forgettable music. It's a fairly short game, it shouldn't take you long at all to complete it, and theres a fairly boring multiplayer aspect (download play). Despite some flaws, it's a competent stealth platformer that's a nice pick for the kids, but the older audience may want to avoid it. On the other hand, it's a totally unique game for the DS, and if you like stealth games, it's a pretty safe bet.
